I still miss the old good times when watching the downloads number was the greatest joy for a skinner after months of work which had been done for the community.

[ariszlo]

643,275? More!

[PeterK.]

Too bad the Download button does not work anymore ...

[ariszlo]

It is still there in the Nullsoft archive but most browsers block downloads from there.

[PeterK.]

As I see I got one step further than you because there was no warning whatsoever in my Firefox window after I clicked on the link:



But instead of trying the link I merely noticed the red warning line on the bottom ... page cannot be displayed ... and closed the tab. Silly!

Thanks for the tip Ariszló!

[ariszlo]

Wrong screenshot (but with a nicer icon): I got that a year ago at customize.org.

This is what you get now when trying to enter the Nullsoft achive:

[ariszlo]

Luckily, you can still download skins from both the Nullsoft archive and Customize.org with Vivaldi or Opera.

Nullsoft archive

• Classic skins: 1999–2012
• Modern skins: 2002–2012

Customize.org

• Classic
• Modern
• Winamp 1.x (with some misplaced Classic and Modern skins)

[Sabine Klare]

Oh no, will that mean, that it is very problematic now to visit archive.org (Internet Archive)? What's about the music by all the Creative Commons Artists? Maybe some users have only Firefox and Chrome.

I leave 2 links, to a page and to a single post:

And there is a link to the label Cold Fiction Music and the album Polaris by Pobedia. I had talked about the album artwork in 1280x960 pixel as additional random texture, desktop wallpaper and Komodo Background. Komodo X Touchscreen by Victhor is a very good Modern Skin for Winamp.

Luckily, there is Firefox! No problems here

[ariszlo]

archive.org is ok. It is Winamp's own skin and plugin archive at download.nullsoft.com that is blocked by browsers that rely on Google Safe Browsing.

Firefox? Then you must have unchecked "Block dangerous and deceptive content" in the Security tab of Firefox Preferences.

Yes indeed, this is what I have done and always will do!

The best security plug-in for every modern browser is still brain.exe, which is a wonderful companion on everyday-journey through the entire Internet.

Back on topic: just for the sake of legibility, the name of the 21st most downloaded Modern skin is Würlitzer.

2. Quinto Black and Quinto Black CT (the latter the better), 2197+1966 downloads
3. Sony Media Tower, 3643 downloads

Winaero - Winamp skins ordered by downloads

[donup]

nice. thank you

[ariszlo]

Breaking News!

Quinto Black CT is #1 at Winaero. Congratulations, PeterK!

[Victhor]

Wonder what's the criteria on winaero for Winamp skins.. , I've contacted them to upload my skins but never even replied..

[ariszlo]

I believe Sergey Tkachenko is no longer maintaining his Winamp skins collection but makes an exception with PeterK because of the traffic his skin generates.

[Victhor]

..or maybe the skin generates traffic due to being on the site? Heh
